  Doesn’t work for everyone who is Diamond it seems

    Same for me. Been a diamond for almost 8 years now and gold most of the last 15. Obviously don’t need to be appreciated 😉

      You may be correct (I have upcoming stays and no bonus) – except how does giving you bonus points encourage more paid stays?

      • Alan says:

        I totally agree, but whoever said Hilton were in any way logical? 😛

  • Rob says:

    It is odd. I know BA Gold Guest List Diamond freeloaders who got 100k.

    • Alan says:

      Although if they don’t have any stays booked this could fit with what I’m seeing – almost like they’re trying to encourage more stays from those with not much booked.

  There’s another Herald article just been published (about an hour ago): http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/transport/loyal-passengers-need-to-spend-ten-times-to-earn-a-free-ticket-under-new-east-coast-p.119279971

  This one doesn’t quote Raffles but was released as a response to East Coast publishing their Nectar redemption rates officially.

  If you look on the Save East Coast Rewards site (click on my name for a link, if I post too many in the article it’s flagged for spam) I have linked to examples of the spend you’d need to make to redeem a ticket.

  The Herald has been very supportive of this campaign since they were made aware of it. There’s also another reporter who’s tried to get a story printed but is being denied by his editor who also supports the campaign and has given me tips.

  Head for Points was an early supporter and helped raise awareness and build up the number of supporters to a level where people took notice.

  Tried to get my 100,000 HH points. Apparently I’m not eligible for any special offers at this time. Oh well ……

  My reward is:

  “Each stay through April 30, 2015, will count double toward the number of stays needed to achieve your 2016 tier status.”

  • Trickster says:

    I got that too, as a Gold. So worth trying even if you are at a lower status.

  • Andy says:

    25 Feb25 February 10:50

    Me too. 10 stays for gold is pretty nice – potentially just 50k points…

    • Rob says:

      25 Feb25 February 11:09

      10 nights would be easy (quick check-in at a 5k property) – 10 STAYS less so …

      • Andy says:

        25 Feb25 February 13:12

        Agreed – nothing close to me for less than 20k.

  Diamond for many many years (and a member of the original hilton club in the UK before that) – nowt.

  Your readership is more widely distributed than you think. I’m sat in Luanda (Angola) reading this over breakfast. HFP is a popular site for oil workers who rotate into West Africa.

    Glad to have you with us Martin!

• Alan says:

  Got the 100k (yay!) but no double-stay credit, which would have been quite handy.

  I’m a diamond member and received the following:

  REGISTRATION ERROR

  Based on the account number you entered, you are not eligible for an exclusive offer at this time.

    I also get the same message. Seems a little unfair as two of my colleagues who have been staying in the Hilton for the same amount of time as me have both been given 100k bonuses.
